ENVELOPE.

i Application filed Julie 9,

ToaZZ whom. itmaj My invention relates in particular I to thoseenvelopes used by paymasters depart-- of samementsin commercial. andindustrial institu tions. It need not be confined'to this particular usealtho that is the one' preferred usage I shall discuss here.

In monetary transactions between employer and employee, receipts areuniversally required. The reasons for this are obvious. I

In my many years of observation in matters of money disbursement I haveseen many systems which in finalxanalysis may be resolved as follows. Aprinted, mimeographed or written receipt is used. The

amountof money involved is written in a. suitable place on the receipt.An entirel separate and distinct envelope is use marked in some mannertoidentify it. The envelope and receipt are then fastened together witha pin, commercial clip or other temporary fastening means. When themoney is disbursed the tem orary fas tening isremoved, the receipt given.to the employee to sign while the distributon holds the envelopepending return of the receipt.

Upon return of the receipt, the distributor pays the employee.

- The cost, lost motion and ceremony pertinent to this system iswasteful. To eliminate most of this waste I'have' conceivedthe envelopeshown in\ the illustrative views, in which like figures refer to likeparts.

Figure 1 shows a perspective view of one form of my envelope.

Figure 2 shows a development or pattern Figure 3 shows a second type ofenvelope in perspective.

Figure-1, A represents the envelopeproper, B represents the sealingflap, 0 represents the end of the envelope which is sealed in themanufacture. I have ektended this seal to allow freesection D upon whichis printed the receipt. The flapC and receipt 1922. Serial No. 566,986.

D tion to permit ready removal of the receipt D. Theflap and receipt Dare printed with like numbers to identify them.

In Figure 2 the same -envelope is shown developed, that is, as a patternthe flaps E I and. F fold in upon eachother and their common contactarea is sealed to form of the envelope closure. x In Figure 3 thereceipt D is} made as part of the side. of the envelope. instead of partof the end of it. The effect and results are the same in both cases. i

It is obvious that the first savingcomes 1n having to fill in but onereceipt since the envelope needs no further identification,

Also the necessity of joining envelope and recelpt is eliminated. Inactual use, the envelope correspondlng to any particular are separatedby a perforated demarcapart.

eniployee is taken and held by the 'paymaster v I or distributor. Thereceipt is removed by one quick tearing movement, and. handed to theemployee for his signature. It. is signed, returned, and the envelopenuinbered to correspond to the receipt is given to the employee. andeffort is appreciable. l Having thus described m r invention- I find thesaving of time what I claim and what I 'deslre to. secure.

United States Letters Patent for, is:
